“Father acquired this Medicine God’s Soul Canon from the Godsfall Mountain Range. But this Medicine God’s Soul Canon is only an incomplete canon. To this date, I also don’t know its origins. When I obtained it, it was only a tattered book, very inconspicuous. But when I used divine sense to inspect it, these golden characters actually automatically imprinted within my divine soul. I was also unable to retrieve it. I could only study it every day, all the way until my divine soul realm had some breakthrough, then only I was barely able to control these golden characters,” Ji Zhengyang explained.
“It’s actually the Godsfall Mountain Range! No wonder! Roughly ten years ago or so before Father died, you joined hands with numerous Divine King powerhouses to barge into the Godfall Mountain Range together. I’m afraid that the Medicine God’s Soul Canon was obtained during then, right?” Ye Yuan had a look of realization.
Divine King experts were indeed pinnacle existences in the Divine Realm. However, it was not like they could travel freely anywhere around the world.
In the Divine Realm, there were some forbidden places. Even if Divine King experts entered, just a moment of carelessness and there would be the risk of perishing!
The Godsfall Mountain Range was one of them!
As the name suggests, a place where even Deity Realm powerhouses had to perish, what did Divine King experts count for?
Of course, there was another saying about the Godsfall Mountain Range. Countless eons ago, an earth-shattering great war took place in that place. Those participating in the great war were all Deity Realm powerhouses! In that battle, many Deity Realm experts fell. Hence, that place was later called the Godsfall Mountain Range.
But too much time had passed. As for which saying was true, it could no longer be determined.
Only one thing was certain, that was the Godfall Mountain Range was an extremely perilous place but also a place with tremendous lucky chances!
This Medicine God’s Soul Canon might have been a soul cultivation method left behind by some Deity Realm expert!
Ji Zhengyang nodded and said, “That’s right, it was obtained back then. You have also seen the Medicine God’s Soul Canon and should understand its allure. I was also unable to grasp these golden characters back then, so I temporarily did not tell you. Later on, when I planned to impart you the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, that unexpected incident happened. Sigh . . . Truly fate makes a fool out of men! With your talent, if you were given several hundred years to comprehend the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, you might really achieve Half-Deity Realm!
To Divine King experts, several hundred years was not considered long. It might just be the duration of a retreat.
For Ji Zhengyang to give Ye Yuan a time limit of merely several hundred years, it was clear just how confident he was in his son’s talent!
But when Ye Yuan heard that, he said, “Father, perhaps this lifetime is my opportunity! In my previous life, I neglected the martial path. Even if I had acquired the Medicine God’s Soul Canon, I might not be able to reach Half-Deity Realm. In this life, I’ll pour my heart into the martial path and pursue that unparalleled Deity Realm. I absolutely won’t let Father down!”
Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, “I naturally won’t be disappointed. Father has already observed your new body. You cultivated very well, and your foundation is also very solid. You condensed nine spirit drops, and the divine soul transformation was also very flawless. As long as you take each step forward firmly, stepping into the Deity Realm in the future is definitely not a dream! Alright, time is almost up. Father should go. In the future when Father isn’t by your side, you have to take good care of yourself!”
As he was talking, Ji Zhengyang’s body became increasingly faint. This was the sign of a remnant soul about to vanish!
Ye Yuan’s eyes instantly blurred once again. The father and son barely managed to reunite, yet, it was so fleeting.
This goodbye was forever!
Ye Yuan desperately tried to grab hold of Ji Zhenyang, but how could he clutch a remnant soul on the verge of disappearing?
“Don’t worry, Father. This child has already grown up. I’ll take good care of myself! I’ll definitely step into the Deity Realm in the future. Even if I have to try every means, I’ll definitely find a way to revive you!” Ye Yuan said with tears in his eyes.
“Haha, silly boy. Life and death are set by the heaven. You just . . . have to . . . live well by . . . yourself and . . . that would do . . .”
Ji Zhengyang’s remnant soul gradually become fainter, hazier, and finally vanished into nothingness . . .
Once again watching his father leave him, Ye Yuan felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart. He only hated himself for being too weak. If he had Father’s former strength, he could surely hold onto Father’s divine soul and even revive him.
But right now, he was unable to do anything!
Ye Yuan once again experienced that sort of deep helplessness. He disliked this sort of feeling very much.
“I, Ye Yuan, must definitely step into the Deity Realm in this lifetime! The heartless heavens treat everything as straw dogs! I, Ye Yuan, have to carve out my own Great Dao and oppose this Heaven!”
At this point, Ye Yuan already returned to reality. Ye Yuan howled at the skies.
At this point, Ye Yuan’s breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm was finally completed!
The heaven and earth phenomenon faded away as if it had never appeared.
Yuan Fei brought the unconscious Nanfeng Zhirou and Su Yishan in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had not yet completely recovered from his grief. Seeing Su Yishan, his killing intent involuntarily surged!
Chapter 154

“I . . . What happened to me? Ah! Ye Yuan! You’re fine; that’s great!”
Nanfeng Zhirou slowly woke up. Seeing Ye Yuan safe and sound, she could not help being overjoyed.
Unknowingly, Nanfeng Zhirou’s concern towards Ye Yuan had already become an involuntary habit.
“Hur hur, it’s just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm; what could happen?” Ye Yuan forcefully pressed down the grief in his heart and said with a forced smile.
“But you really frightened people to death just now; rolling on the ground while clutching your head, I even thought you . . . I saw your distressing appearance and wanted to come over to help you, but I was knocked unconscious by this fellow! Humph! ” Nanfeng Zhirou pointed at Yuan Fei and said with a displeased look.
If not for Yuan Fei being too powerful, she probably would have swung her sword over at this time.
“He’s right in not letting you come over, so don’t blame him anymore. My divine soul transformation is different from others. I’ll experience a type of special baptism, that’s why it’s so painful. Earlier, the several dozen feet radius around me was extremely dangerous. Your divine soul would have suffered injuries if you came over rashly,” Ye Yuan explained.
Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with suspicion and then looked at Yuan Fei. “Really?”
“Of course it’s true. If not, you can feel my soul strength, and you’ll know that what I said isn’t false.”
As he spoke, Ye Yuan released his soul strength. Yuan Fei and Nanfeng Zhirou clearly felt that surge of soul strength.
“You . . . You. . . You. . . actually directly broke through to middle-rank Alchemy Master’s soul strength?” Nanfeng Zhirou had a face as if she saw a ghost. Even her speech became stammers.
By the side, Yuan Fei also found it unexpected. Two ape eyeballs flickered. Clearly, he was also very surprised.
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist’s soul strength followed their cultivation realm. The level of cultivation would possess a matching soul strength, apart from those people with naturally powerful divine souls.
Before Ye Yuan’s broke through, his divine soul was roughly the same as the average person. Even if he went through divine soul transformation, it sho
uld have only been to the extent of low-rank Alchemy Master soul strength. How could he directly possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Didn’t I say just now? My divine soul transformation is different from others. Having experienced such a painful divine soul baptism, what I obtained was naturally more than others.”
“But . . . But. . . if you possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, wouldn’t you be able to directly refine high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills?” Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.
She recalled that Ye Yuan could refine Tier 2 medicinal pills when he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Then did that not mean that he possessed the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Master at minimum currently?
Wasn’t this too quick?
“High-grade Tier 2? Even if I didn’t reach middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, that’s also not an issue.”
To Ye Yuan, these medicinal pills from the State of Qin had no challenge at all. Refining high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills were too easy.
The real challenge was those medicinal pills which surpassed high-grade Tier 2. If Ye Yuan’s soul strength did not have a breakthrough, there might really be some difficulties in refining it.
After all, Tier 2 medicinal pills were way harder than Tier 1 medicinal pills. To go even further by leaping ranks to refine medicinal pills, the difficulty naturally also increased.
Nanfeng Zhirou sucked in a deep breath before saying, “Su Yishan was really spot-on about something.”
Ye Yuan was stunned and asked, “What did he say about me?”
“You’re a freak! Freak! Freak!”
It was rare for Nanfeng Zhirou to acknowledge something Su Yishan said because each and everything that happened on Ye Yuan’s body could not be described using the word ‘normal,’ so it could only be described using ‘freak.’
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “How rare for Su Yishan’s appraisal of me to be so high. In order to thank him, I’ll give him a chance to fight fairly!”
Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly startled when she heard that and quickly said, “You aren’t really going to go one-on-one with him, right? You just broke through! With Yuan Fei and me around, you don’t have to be swayed by personal feelings!”
The meaning of that was that Ye Yuan was obviously not Su Yishan’s match.
Nanfeng Zhirou’s thinking was not wrong. Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very strong and he was surely even more impressive after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had just broken through after all, and Su Yishan was three minor realms higher than him. This distance could not be compensated so easily.
Nanfeng Zhirou knew that after the Spirit Condensation Realm, jumping ranks to battle would be even more difficult because the disparity between each minor realm was even greater.
A three spirit liquid drops First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who likewise condensed three spirit liquid drops, there was a whole three spirit liquid drops difference between them. That also meant that the difference in essence energy quantity between them was 100%!
It was very hard to compensate for this sort of disparity without heaven-defying methods!
Between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, there was a full three minor realms gap between them. There was even a minor stage in-between.
The disparity in-between was too big!
Ye Yuan just smiled and said, “Relax, I know what I’m doing.”
Right then, Su Yishan also slowly awakened.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s currently sizing him up with ill intentions, his heart shivered for no reason.
“Come on, Su Yishan! I said that I’ll give you the chance to duel me. Now, let’s carry out a one-on-one deathmatch!” Ye Yuan’s words carried an imposing air as if he showed disdain on everyone.
“You . . . You really want to go one-on-one with me?” Su Yishan clearly also did not dare to believe it.
Ye Yuan’s advantage over here was too clear. There was simply no need to do this sort of foolish thing.
“What? You’re unwilling?” Ye Yuan’s tone turned icy.
“Willing! Of course I’m willing!” Su Yishan hurriedly responded.
At this point, he already had no choice. Since Ye Yuan himself was being stupid, then wouldn’t he be as dumb as Ye Yuan if he did not grasp this opportunity well?
It was just that he was worried Ye Yuan merely only using him to measure his strength, and he would still make Yuan Fei kill him in the end.
If it were him, he would definitely do that.
“You don’t have to worry; Yuan Fei and Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng won’t attack! As long as you can kill me, you can leave this place. I’ll make Yuan Fei hold back Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng and not let her attack,” Ye Yuan saw through Su Yishan’s concerns and said calmly.
“Ye Yuan, you!” Nanfeng Zhirou immediately jumped up but was held back by Yuan Fei.
Su Yishan could not help becoming ecstatic when he saw this scene.
These few days had been too aggrieved for him. Having lived for nearly twenty years, he had never suffered such injustice before!
“Haha . . . Ye Yuan, you asked for it yourself, then don’t blame me for not holding back! You aren’t naïve enough to think that you’re really my match after just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, right? One-on-one isn’t the time for being a training partner anymore!” Su Yishan laughed madly.
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, “So much crap. Come on!”
“You’re courting death, Ye Yuan!” Su Yishan gritted his teeth and attacked Ye Yuan with a punch.
If in the past, Ye Yuan would definitely evade this punch at the first moment. But now, Ye Yuan did not run or dodge, he directly struck out with an Eighth Layer Wave. The two of them clashed together!
Rumble!
After an intense collision, the pair each retreated several steps.
An incredulous shock was written all over Su Yishani’s face. “Didn’t you just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm? How can you be this strong?!”
Chapter 155
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
Su Yishan was all too familiar with Ye Yuan’s moves!
Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layered Wave!
But the question was how could the Eighth Layered Wave have such incredible power?
It was actually not at a disadvantage when clashing with his palm!
No matter how strong the Eighth Layered Wave was, it was just a Tier 1 martial technique.
Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. A First Level Spirit Condensation Realm using a Tier 1 martial technique could actually have a draw with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist like him?
Since when were Tier 1 martial techniques so powerful?
Since when were First Level Spirit Condensation Realms so strong?
Ye Yuan curled his lips and said with displeasure, “Indeed, Tier 1 martial techniques are no longer suitable!”
Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Apart from the movement technique Spirit Void Shattering Space, all his martial techniques including the Absolute Yang Finger were all Tier 1 martial techniques.
Using a Tier 1 martial technique to battle a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was clearly not quite enough.
That clash just now looked to be evenly-matched, but in reality, he was at a clear disadvantage.
The impact Ye Yuan suffered was much greater than Su Yishan’s. The distance he retreated was also farther.
Nanfeng Zhirou also had her mouth wide open when she saw this scene and no longer struggled in Yuan Fei’s arms.
It was very clear that this scene gave her a similarly huge shock.
Even though that palm from Su Yishan just now was not his strongest move, he did not hold back any strength.
Middle-rank Tier 2 martial technique plus Fourth Level Spir
it Condensation Realm strength; no matter how one looked at it, the outcome should be Ye Yuan heavily injured and puking blood. However, Ye Yuan merely moved back a few steps.
Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought of something and asked out loud, “Ye Yuan, just how many drops of spirit liquid did you condense?”
With Nanfeng Zhirou asking, Su Yishan also perked up his ears. He was also very curious whether it was seven drops or eight drops.
Ye Yuan did not turn his head back and just said casually, “Nine drops.”
Su Yishan’s eyes popped out. “Ni-nine drops? Impossible! How can there possibly be a person who can condense out nine spirit liquid drops in this world and not have their dantian burst?”
Ye Yuan said calmly, “You don’t know, doesn’t mean that there isn’t. The State of Qin is merely a small place. You are but a frog at the bottom of a well.”
“What kind of joke is this? I don’t believe it! Frog at the bottom of a well? You said it like you aren’t someone from the State of Qin! Haha, I know, you must have only condensed seven drops and want to make yourself look good. Either that or you’re trying to shake my state of mind!”
Not that Su Yishan was unwilling to believe, but because nine spirit liquid drops were truly even more mythical than legends. The way he perceived it, it was completely impossible to appear.
And yet, Ye Yuan said he condensed nine spirit liquid drops, shattering the absolute of Su Yishan’s knowledge. Hence, he chose to not believe.
But deep down inside, a discordant voice was telling Su Yishan that what Ye Yuan said was true!
Otherwise, how could one explain why Ye Yuan could pair a Tier 1 martial technique with his First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and be equally matched with him?
Even though Su Yishan had never seen seven spirit liquid drops martial artists, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for seven spirit liquid drops martial artists to possess such a powerful strength!
That was to say, Ye Yuan condensed at least eight spirit liquid drops, maybe even the nine drops which Su Yishan was reluctant to admit!
